i will have an anchor and chain with rope in a bucket under that hatch... but most of the time we will use the shallow water anchors. we hunt and fish mainly the shallow water marshes and those anchors work the best by far in those environments. thats why i put those anchor pole slots in the back and through the deck in the front. thanks for the kind comments and thanks for watching.

How’s the paint been holding up with that process?? I’m going to build a big river jet next spring/summer and would love to paint it a solid color. Figured a primer then paint for that versus camo pattern.

Hey man, How has that paint held up? I saw you used “Camo Designs” paint for base. Is that from the guy in broussard/ Lafayette area?I’m finishing my boat in the next week or so and I am trying to decide which type of paint I am going to use. Also, I may do a top coat clear coat.

Amazing video! Did you scuff the base coat before doing the stencil paint work? Separately, I’m not sure how seriously to take the paint label warnings about having a one-hour window to work with (they say “within one hour or after 24 hours” for additional layers of paint). Did you abide by that, or in your experience should that not be taken too literally? Appreciate any guidance ◡̈

@JackArmstrong-jackdaddycustoms

2 ай бұрын

Thank you. I did not scuff the base. I did stay pretty close to the times on the labels. It doesn’t have to be exact but I would recommend staying close at least… humidity and temperature will affect it a good bit so I imagine those times are safe approximates. I let mine dry for around 24 before starting with the stencils.
